[[{“value”:”Suzuki has a number of new motorcycles returning unchanged for 2025, among them the middleweight GSX-R600. This sportbike will come in a few new colors, and will start at $11,999.It’s not clear how many more years the platform will have, considering the fact that we’ve seen other manufacturers do away with their four-cylinder supersports in the US in favor of parallel-twin-powered middleweights (looking at you, Yamaha). Suzuki brought its own version to market recently with the GSX-8R, so if the trend turns out to be predictive, we might not have many years left to enjoy the 599cc machine. Particularly when many racers make use of the GSX-R750 in supersport-class competition when permitted.The 2025 GSX-R600 in Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Matte Stellar Blue. (Suzuki/)Although, we have seen the class of bikes defy expectations of late, with other makers revamping models in significant ways, so perhaps the doom-and-gloom attitude toward these machines is no longer appropriate.As for the GSX-R600, it’s the same supersport many have grown to love in the 13 years since its last major upgrade. The mill’s output can be tailored via the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector system which allows for selection between two different engine maps. The platform is suspended by a Showa Big Piston Front Fork and Showa shock, it has Brembo Monoblock calipers at the front, a back-torque-limiting clutch eases downshifts, and a number of MotoGP-derived elements enhance performance character, from the valve-lift profiles to the ignition control programming.It also remains a remarkably popular model, with it ranking high in our research of the models readers want reviewed earlier this year.The 2025 Suzuki GSX-R600 in Solid Iron Gray and Glass Sparkle Black. (Suzuki/)Since the new color options are the only points of difference from the 2024 editions, we’d be remiss if we did not describe what will be available. The GSX-R600 will be dressed in either Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Matte Stellar Blue or Solid Iron Gray and Glass Sparkle Black. For those who want a classic Suzuki vibe, the GSX-R600Z will be available in Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Triton Blue.Suzuki’s 2025 GSX-R600Z in Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Triton Blue.
